@RocketGnome, I know exactly what you mean. Damien and I tried REAL hard to convince Antony that his Aurora engine should be sold after we had finished our game and proved its worth.
We decided to go our seperate ways soon after Ant released his engine, because then he was only interested in making a quick buck, and jumping on the game project.
I think some peoples attitudes are really poor. On the other hand, there are people that release tools for free that get disillusioned by the lack of interest and help offered.
Since the Aurora thing fell through, Damien and I have been working with ChrisC on his open source Ogre engine. After 3 weeks of no real help from the community, he decided to make it closes source, and only release binaries for the engine for free.
Seems like you can't win whichever way you try and do things.
